Know before you go

  • Nanga Parbat is a Persian word that means Naked Mountain. Local people call it Diamer (Monarch of the God). It is also known as Killer Mountain among mountaineers, as more than 40 climbers have lost their lives trying to conquer it during expeditions.

  • It is about a 540 km drive on the Karakoram Highway from Islamabad to Raikot Bridge (1400 m), where local jeeps will take you up to Tatto Village. It is an exciting one-and-a-half-hour drive from Raikot Bridge to the last village of Tatto (2900 m).

  • There are several photo stops on the way up to Tatto, including an impressive view of the Karakoram Highway and the Indus River from one of the sharp turns in the road.

  • On arrival at Tatto, you can have lunch in a local restaurant, hire porters, and start trekking on a very easy old jeep road for 2-3 hours.

  • It is a great experience to stay overnight at a fixed campsite or in traditionally built wooden huts, which offer a magnificent view of the north face of Nanga Parbat.

  • There are several short walks on this plateau, including the full-day excursion up to the base camp (3900 m) of Nanga Parbat.

  • It is very easy to walk through the forest up to the edge of the plateau called Beyal Camp (3500 m), whereas the trek from Beyal Camp to base camp is a little difficult along the Raikot.
